CM Omar, Mehbooba's approach on prisoners legally weak, politically convenient: Inam Un Nabi

Srinagar, Nov 3: AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi has sharply criticised Mehbooba Mufti and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing both leaders of taking selective, confused and legally flawed positions on the issue of Kashmiri prisoners lodged in outside jails.

While addressing gathering in Budgam, Inam Un Nabi questioned Mehbooba Mufti’s political intent, asking: “Why does Mehbooba Mufti only demand shifting of prisoners but never demands their release? What stops her from raising the real humanitarian issue that families actually want addressed?”

Inam added that Mehbooba herself claims that shifting of prisoners falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, yet she approached the High Court instead of the Supreme Court. “This is legally inconsistent and politically misleading. If she believed the matter lies with the Supreme Court, why take a weaker legal route?” “Approaching the High Court ensured headlines, not results.

This exposes the lack of seriousness,” Inam said.
